E350 7.3t shocks????

What shocks do you run?
E350 7.3 all ways loaded. Wondering what shocks to go with. Thinking about over load springs or air bags. Tow a dump trailer.

Bilsteins.
if you need a lift in the rear to tow a trailer with an e350 you have too much tongue weight

What year and how do the springs sit unloaded? Maybe tired springs. You could do airbags but don't know of any specific kits so maybe a custom job. These vans are heavy to start with. Is the van loaded inside along with the trailer? Fixing a sagging rear won't help if your overloaded.

If your rear springs are shot, then replace.

If you just wanting to add additional support for a trailer, or heavy load, then check out Timbren's............ Timbren SES Suspension Upgrades - Upgrade Your Truck, Van, SUV

I'm running these on a E350 cube van, that's 1/2 loaded all the time.
